After months of not worrying about lipstick, I am delighted to pick it back up again! Since most everyone in the embassy has been vaccinated, we are able to not use masks at work for the most part. We still do when we see our consular clients, but it\u2019s so freeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had a great video chat last Sunday with my former boss and good friend Nomi in Tijuana, then yesterday I did one with Tammy in Maryland (with occasional guest appearances by Scott). Wonderful to catch up with good friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Friday night we went to the Ambassador\u2019s to watch \u201cSeven Days in Entebbe\u201d (excellent and with Rosamund Pike) – we started outdoors with the Marines grilling hotdogs, but had to quickly regroup inside when it started raining. We were a small enough group that we fit in the family living room – so all\u2019s well that ends well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Work was challenging as usual this week. I went in yesterday and, although I didn\u2019t do what I set out to do, I still got things done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
